THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS

My team (The Grass Kickers, woo woo) is unable to play in the fall kickball leagues, so I had a decision to make: no kickball til spring or join or create another team. I know, I know that's blasphemous, but can you image no kickball til spring? Me either, so despite better judgement me and a few of my team mate joined another team. Now let me back up a little we were actually recruited (yeah we are pretty good) and we accepted. We were sold this idea of us coming in and maybe helping this team win a few game. NOT SO!!! We were not warmly welcomed. First off you don't know these people, their abilities, their strengths or weaknesses and they don't know yours. Secondly because you're joining them trying to impart any knowledge that may improve the team is looked upon as cocky. So you sit back and watch game after game after game after game get away from you because of bullheadedness. We are adults people how about we get over ourselves and let's win a DAMN game! But the hope of winning is fading with every dropped ball and every pop out and "I just can't believe we're going to walk in to certain death" (Verbal, The Usual Suspect) because the UNusual suspects won't play nice.
